A Serious Affair.

We trust there will be no fun made Of the con-
test for the checker championship of America.
1t is really serious business. many person
has found who has been forced into tight cor
ner at checkers. ANY remark made on the SUBJ
ject of the championship should be of decorous
kind. betting the gravity of the contest.
If the base ballists, and the pie-eaters and the
pugilists have their champions. why should tha
checker players not have theirs2 The real mis-
take they make is in not calling national con-
vention. But perhaps that will come.

KALAKAUA AND SPRECKELS.

The fortunes of the royal family of
Hawaii will not copce the world so
much as the commercial changes which
its fall or practical abdication may re-
suit in. 1t is a relic of savagery, and.
though it has put on some of the airs
of civilized royalty, it has been in most
respects little better than a farce. in
the meantime immigration has placed
the island practically in the possession
of civilized races, Americans, English
and Portuguese for the greater part,
and they naturally have fallen out.
For a long time Sprerkels, of San Fran
cisco, ruled the King, but his power
waned, and, while other interests tri-
umphed and the King drank and ca
reused, the sugarmaker plotted, and
the result is a revolution which
promises to bring Spreckels once more
TO the front. The royal line, like the
native Hawaiian race, is nearly extinct,
and it is n question of a short time
only when both will disappear. An
nexation by some powerful European
nation. like England or Germany, is
probably the fate that will then over
take the islands. unless the house OF
Spreckles concludes TO assume royal
houOrs.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The Omaha World calls the atten-
ton to the recent action of the school
boards of New York and Boston upon
the subject of industrial education. In
New York the superintendent of pub
lie instruction, in connection with the
committee on industrial education.
have been ordered to present a plan
for the introduction of manual train
ing into all the grammar schools in
the city, which acs,on meets with the
cordial apprc .. OF the city press. In
Boston there are now four coo king
schoa is maintained by tho school board
and this year it IS proposed to open
five more. Other cities in Massachu-
sets are following the example Of
Boston. The cost of a course of twen-
ty-seven lessons during the school year
of forty weeks is about 80 cents for
each pupil apart from the salary of the
teacher, which is $500 ayear. The plan
in BoAton Is to open a cooking school
IN the center of u district and send 10
At girls selected from the various
schools in the district. This depart
ment of industrial education could be
started in connection with the high
school. and when well under way its
advantages might be shared by scholars
from the other schools. The interest
in manual training, both for boys and
girls, is on the increase all over the
country, and the start in the west made
BY Omaha should be kept up and inn
provements made as rapidly as expert
cnce proves their value. The board of
education of Omaha has shown COM
mendable enterprise IN what they have
already done towards charging the
course of education in the high school
and they should lot weary in well
dong but keep abreast of other cities
in the further enlargement of the de-
partment of manual training.

THE CANADIAN TROUBLES.

Nova Scotia on the east and Mani
toba on the west are growing very
tired of the confederation, which has
been called the Dominion of Canada.
Nova Scotia would prefer to become
one of the United States, and Manitoba
would not be averse to a similar fate.
The Manitobians are at outs with the
government of the dominion because
they are hampered in their railroad
schemes by the concessions made to
the Canadian Pacific, which has be-
come a sort OF dictator to the whole
dominion, and they propose to build
such roads az they please with or with
out the consent Of the government.
Nova Scotia wants an o%verturn of the
tariff which hinders free trade with
the United States, and has never been
an ovef-cordial adherent to the con-
ederation. None of the provinces
composing the dominion are satisfied
with the present condition Of affairs,
the debt is very heavy and liable to a
still greater increase arising from in.
ternal improvements made to retain
the different provinces loyal to the
dominion government. With these
many troubles it is nc wonder the gov
ernment of Canada is in perplcxity and
that the feeling of annexation is grow
ing stronger every month.
